The story of an orphan.
The original signatories to the Euston Manifesto were very largely orphaned when the Soviet Union collapsed, and the rest are old Trots, which is largely a distinction without a difference.
The signatories to the Henry Jackson Society were orphaned when apartheid South Africa (a Boer Republic set up as an explicit act of anti-British revenge in a former Dominion of the Crown, and the sponsor of an act of treason against the present Queen) and Pinochet's Chile also passed away.
But three poor, poor, poor lost souls appear on both lists: Oliver Kamm, Denis MacShane MP, and Gisela Stuart MP.
I nominate them as the first three on the pane to Tel Aviv, and we'll take three Palestinian Christian families in their place.

Why not Palestinian Muslims? Or Palestinian Jews?
ReplyDeleteYeah! If they like it so much why don't they go and live there?
ReplyDeleteAs I wrote yesterday, very few of the Euston or Jackson lot are Jewish (very few neocons in general are, and most Jews are certainly not neocons).
ReplyDeleteBut those who are, are Ashkenazi, like the beleaguered old secular, Zionist elite in Israel, which now looks out over a land full of Arabs, Sephardim, ultra-Orthodox, and people falling into two or even all three of those categories. There is much wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
And as for the rest, they are exactly as Jewish (i.e., not at all) as the Russians who will not eat kosher food and who insist on taking their IDF oaths on the New Testament alone, the Russian Nazis, the East Africans who have invented a religion based on the Old Testament brought by Christian missionaries but who make no claim to Jewish descent, the Peruvian Indians "converted to Judaism" and put on the plane as a single act, and all the others whom that elite has shipped or flown in as part of its desperate attempt to prevent Israel from becoming a country in which the majority is formed by one or more of the Arabs, the Sephardim and the ultra-Orthodox, all of whom so very vulgarly continue to have children.
So I propose that they, and others of like mind, be transported to Israel.
In return for each one that we sent, we would receive a family of Palestinian Christians, the better to shore up, and indeed to renew, our own authentically Western identity.
They know about the pseudo-West, and they know about the Dar al-Islam, having lived between the two for decades. Bring them over. Just so long as those sending them over take our pseudo-Westerners in return.
Why, though?
ReplyDeleteFrom the inauguration of President Barack Obama, they will have no surrogate fatherland to which to look because they hate their own so much. Or, if they happen to be American citizens, they will have no fatherland at all.
ReplyDeleteBut the old Israeli elite needs them. And we could do with the Palestinian Christians. So let's swap.
"From the inauguration of President Barack Obama, they will have no surrogate fatherland to which to look because they hate their own so much."
ReplyDeleteYeah, you said. But it's just nonsense.
